AFU conducts MASSIVE ATACMS Block 1 (cluster munition) strike on the Russian airfield in Dzhankoi, Crimea NOTE:
- The AFU previously stated that "now that the Black Sea is clear of the Russian Navy, we will focus on removing their airfields." - Based on images of secondary explosions, I am speculating that the S-400 battery at the airfield, along with other targets, may have been hit in the strike.
- See below current NASA FIRMS image. Last night, there were multiple explosions at the Russian airfield in
#Dzhankoi, occupied Crimea, which is in Ukraine. Russian TG Channel Rybar: «The raid was carried out in two waves. The first strike involved seven missiles, apparently with cluster warheads, and the second used at least five . Some damaged equipment at the airfield, and some damaged one of the buildings.»
The Russian 39th helicopter regiment, Air Defense Forces of the Southern Military District (S-400 SAM Battery), 3 Aviation Squadrons and helicopters of the FSB border service are based there. Crimean Wind:
«According to our sources, about 30 Russian servicemen were killed and about 80 were wounded at the airfield in Dzhankoi. Due to the lack of sufficient beds in the Dzhankoi hospital, the wounded are transported by helicopter to Sevastopol for placement in the 1472 VMKG.»
Video images (reported to be from the attack) show multiple secondary explosions of what appear to be large missiles.
